Proscuitto, Pine Nut and Spring Greens Salad

I especially love it when they invite me over for dinner. My friend Merrill is one of those wonderful cooks.

He and I did a bit of a trade. I went and spoke at a church meeting he was asked to speak at, a presentation on social media etiquette and in exchange he cooked dinner for Jim and I. I think I got the better end of the deal!

Dinner was delicious and the presentation was amazing as it always is. Merrill’s the one that taught me the trick for the presentation of the Nutty Brown Rice.

I think one of my favorite things from the meal though was the salad. I love a good salad and this one was great.

The salad consisted of spring greens, toasted pine nuts, fried prosciutto and a delicious dressing made from white balsamic vinegar and gorgonzola cheese with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese on top.

Can I just say, heaven!

I would have been a happy camper if this was all he had served for dinner that night.

It was a nice light salad but full of amazing flavors. The crunch of the prosciutto and pine nuts is perfect and added a wonderful texture to the salad.

I found the white balsamic vinegar at Trader Joes. This salad would make a lovely addition to any dinner party or any dinner.
